Listen "Future Ancestors: Korean American Shamans and Witches"
Episode Synopsis
Asian Americans represent a vast diaspora within the United States, but many have been separated from the traditional folk healing and shamanic practices of their ancestors. Something is changing that, and some GenX and Millennial Asian Americans are pivoting their spiritual practices to those of their ancestral homes — like Korean Americans Jennifer Kim and Chaweon Koo. But this isn’t a nostalgia for a romanticized past. These practitioners are seeking, discovering, and creating entirely new ways of practicing shamanism, ancestor worship, and magic. And it’s only the beginning.
